Design Wall

Here we are so far. I'm continuing to work on the string blocks for the MQS edge-to-edge category. I have more stitched, but not trimmed.

I have been trying to get the tulip design refined. You can sort of see them at the top of the picture. I think that I need to stretch out the leaves a little bit, longer and thinner.









Pop over to Patchwork Times to see all the other great design walls.



I didn't accomplish more as I was winging my way to California.

My dear-daughter-in-law gave my daughter a beautiful, surprise baby sprinkle. My daughter didn't know that I was flying in. DDIL pulled off the surprise.






What is a baby sprinkle?, you ask. Well, a sprinkle is a party for a mommy who doesn't need a full shower.  It's purpose is to acknowledge the special baby that is coming, but it's for the mommy who already has the basic baby necessities.





I don't have a good picture of the surprised guest of honor. The result of forgetting the real camera at the house, and having to use my cell phone camera.


We had a wonderful time. I didn't get the baby quilt finished, but was able to get a sweater and hat set knitted up.

  4. A baby sprinkle -- what a wonderful idea! I always thought it was a bit unfair to only have a shower for the first baby... :o)

    LOVE your string block project. What a gorgeous quilt that will be!
